Planning for Retirement's Big Gap
You have probably been putting something aside for your retirement for years. And if you are like most people you have a pretty good idea of what you want that retirement to look like. But an unexpected health event can wipe away those dreams and have a potentially devastating effect on your life savings.
Have You Planned for Long Term Care?
You or your spouse are increasingly likely to have a Long Term Care event during your retirement years. But most people don't realize how expensive Long Term Care can be. And contrary to what many people believe the majority of it is not covered by most private health insurance plans or by Medicare.
- Average cost of a Nursing Home is over $70,000 a year*
- Average cost of Home Care Aid is $32.50 per hour*
If you need care for months or years, these costs can quickly drain your retirement savings and put you and your spouses' standard of living at risk.
In contrast, for those people with assets and savings to protect, Long Term Care insurance premiums are something they can fit into their monthly budget without changing their lifestyle. Not having to worry about unwelcome surprises as they get older, is one reason many people turn to Long Term Care insurance to give them peace of mind.
In general, it makes sense to make a Long Term Care plan before you reach retirement age for a number of reasons. For instance:
- The price of coverage is significantly reduced when you purchase at younger ages
- You have the ability to "lock-in" your coverage and underwriting rating while you are still healthy
- You cover your financial exposure to Long Term Care earlier.
However, Long Term Care insurance isn't right for everyone. Work with a Long Term Care specialist to find the type of plan that fits your needs and budget.
